I am a Primitive Man

Three days later, Han Cheng and his people also set off from the Tongshan residential area and started their return journey.

During these few days, Han Cheng and the people who followed Han Cheng got a full rest.

On the way to rest, Han Cheng also sorted out the graphics of the topography and landforms he drew in the future.

And followed Junior Brother Sha to inspect the mines on the Copper Mountain, the mining of ores, the smelting of copper and tin, the reclamation of land, and the planting of grain.

While expressing full affirmation of these things made in the Tongshan residential area, some guiding suggestions were also put forward.

Among them, I am most concerned about cutting down more trees to support the excavated mine.

The mine in Tongshan is not deep, but it is also quite strong. So far, there has been no such thing as a collapse, and no one has died because of it, but the more it is like this, the more careful it is.

As the mine continues to deepen, the risk factor will also become greater. If possible, the necessary protective measures must be used, otherwise, once the mine collapses, it will be uncomfortable.

In later generations, when mining accidents occurred, many people could still be rescued by virtue of advanced equipment, professional rescue teams, and efforts to rescue at any cost.

In this day and age, once such a thing happens, it basically declares the death of the buried person, so protective measures must be taken seriously.

While inspecting the copper mine, Han Cheng saw Meng.

It was the slave who wanted to drag some people to escape with him because he felt dissatisfied, and was caught and punished as a slave who kept digging copper in the copper mountain.

At this time, Meng was completely without human appearance, her beard and hair were knotted together, and she was dirty and long.

There is a thick layer of dust mixture on the body and face after precipitation, like armor.

There was a layer of stench all over his body, and his expression was very dull.

At that time, Han Cheng was about to go down the mountain accompanied by Junior Brother Sha and others. Meng carried a load of ore that had been dug out with a pole and a truffle head, and walked forward tremblingly. He froze and then involuntarily quickened his walking pace.

After realizing that this is Meng, Han Cheng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, Han Cheng is a person who has received nine years of compulsory education. Apart from not having a girlfriend and being a homeboy, there is nothing wrong with the rest of the three views.

It is normal to feel a little uncomfortable seeing Meng who has become so miserable under his orders.

When Meng was about to escape, everyone in the tribe was very angry, and Han Cheng was equally angry.

However, unlike others, most of Han Cheng's anger is just pretending to be seen by the tribe, so that everyone can clearly know his attitude towards this kind of matter, and by the way, create momentum for the introduction of corresponding laws in the future. .

In fact, for Meng's behavior of wanting to sneak away and not wanting to be a slave, Han Cheng had a little unknown appreciation.

He who came from later generations, if someone dares to make him a slave, Han Cheng will definitely resist desperately. It is easy to sneak away like Meng, and maybe he will get some juice like poisonous bright grass. Go into the rice and let everyone in that tribe eat...

However, I appreciate Meng's behavior in my heart, but I can't be soft when dealing with it. After all, the position is different. Now he is a slave owner, not a slave, and his buttocks can't be crooked.

But after seeing Meng's appearance at this time, Han Cheng finally felt compassion.

After careful calculation, Meng could only be regarded as an attempted escape.

And apart from wanting to escape, he didn't show any intention of hurting people or damaging property.

Tongshan's inhuman treatment of mining in the past few years can basically offset the mistakes it made, and at the same time, it has also played a role in alerting everyone and deterring Xiaoxiao.

So after a lot of thinking, in the afternoon of that day, Han Chenggong called everyone in the Tongshan residential area together,

Then someone got Meng out of the mine in Copper Mountain.

In front of everyone, Han Cheng reiterated Meng's mistakes and the laws of the tribe.

Just when everyone thought that Han Cheng was going to kill Meng, Han Cheng said that during his several years of mining career, Meng had not been lazy, and then announced the appropriate sentencing of Meng.

Sentencing includes sleeping in the small courtyard of the slaves in the Tongshan residential area at night, and eating worse than the rest of the slaves, but better than when they were in the Tongshan cave.

An appropriate amount of reduction was also made for Lemon's daily workload.

After understanding what Han Cheng meant, Meng was stunned for a while, then knelt down in front of Han Cheng, lying on the ground and crying loudly.

Such a scene not only made the people of the Qingque tribe in the Tongshan residential area further feel the kindness from the Son of God, but also saw the slaves looking horrific, lying on the ground and crying loudly. Thoughts of making mistakes like Lemon.

Just thinking about what Meng has experienced in the past few years, they can't help but want to shudder...

On the way back, Han Cheng and the others did not take the road they used to travel to and from the Qingque Tribe. They still took the area they explored when they came.

On the trip back, in addition to clarifying the situation in the off-track area, the route of the Bronze Expressway must also be thoroughly determined, and then try to build a dozen or twenty before the autumn harvest. The way of many miles.

Dangdangdang...

The sound of impact echoed in the summer forest, startling several pairs of birds who wanted to be happy.

On the way back, Han Cheng held some sharpened small wooden sticks in his arms, and after careful observation, he stuck them into the ground.

Someone behind him took a bronze hammer and pulled out the wooden stick he had inserted there, and then nailed the big tree stick he cut out with the bronze ax to its original position as a more eye-catching sign.

The rest of the people, holding sickles and axes in their hands, worked on the bushes that were not too thick on both sides of the nailed sticks, and initially cleared a passage more than one meter wide for easy walking. At the same time, it can also make the logo more eye-catching.

The team walked all the way, nailed all the way, cleaned all the way, and slowly approached the Qingque tribe.

This is the real blue thread of the difficult road, overcoming thorns and thorns...

Nearly twenty days later, a group of people who looked more primitive than the average primitive returned from the west of the tribe.

If it weren't for the Qingque flag fluttering in the wind with holes in it, and the following deer, dogs, and the right number of people in the Qingque tribe who were looking forward to the return of Shenzi and others, they would hardly believe it. Well, a person with such a suit would be the Son of God and the others.

Son, call Dad!

The unshaven Han Cheng laughed and shouted as he looked at Little Pea who came out from Bai Xuemei's side.

Not dad, ugly...

The little guy hid beside Bai Xuemei while talking.

It wasn't until Han Cheng took out two red fruits and three screaming fluffy birds from the cloth bag that he couldn't recognize his father's little pea, and Han Cheng coaxed him to follow.

He briefly greeted Wu, senior brother, and Bai Xuemei, and briefly asked him about the affairs of the tribe after he left. After learning that nothing major happened, Han Cheng hurriedly threw away the things he brought back, and then Taking the clean clothes that Bai Xuemei found out and the bathing basket, she hurried all the way to the lower reaches of the small river.

There is a specially opened place for bathing.

The surrounding area is covered with soft sand, and when you step on it with bare feet, the soles of the feet are itchy.

Moreover, some pits of less than half a meter were artificially dug out. It is very comfortable to lie in it with your head exposed, and take a bath in the open air.

Where this area connects with the small river, a bamboo fence made of broken bamboo is used, and the trees are there to block.

This is mainly to keep the fish in the creek out and not let them in.

After all, at this time, some fish living in the small river are quite fierce, and it is better for the smaller fish to swim over. It is not too much hindrance to be bitten by two guys, but I am afraid of meeting those big guys. After a while, there will be no more happiness to speak of.

Comfortable!

Quickly throw off the extremely uncomfortable clothes on the body, and then come into the water and lie down in the dug hole, the warm water flooded by the sun, wrapping the whole body, that kind of comfort Forget about it.

After lying down for a while, Han Cheng held his breath and came to the bottom of the water. He put his body directly against the sand below, and he came out of the water after a while.

While venting his anger, he wiped the water pearl lemon on his face with his hands, and couldn't help admiring.

The only fly in the ointment is that there is no watermelon at this time, and there is no peanut field around the bath.

Otherwise, holding a watermelon and throwing it into the water, then throwing some peanuts into the water, taking a bath for a while to break the watermelon, eating the watermelon for a while and then eating the peanuts, the feeling is not to mention how comfortable it is.

This thing can't be thought about, just thinking about it makes people want to drool.

Although I used to pluck peanuts from other people's fields with a few partners around me, the woman took the clothes away when I was taking a bath, and my lips were black after staying in the water for a long time, but now I want to When I woke up, I still missed it immensely.

It's a pity that Han Cheng and the others are not the seven fairies who went down to the mortal world to play in the water. The women who took their clothes and gave them to them until it was too dark did not have a talking old cow in their family. Otherwise, they could create another one. Maybe the legend...

The people who followed Han Cheng to the Tongshan residential area also came over one after another at this time, plopping into the water like dumplings, and there was a burst of shouting and joy.

At this time, there were also happy voices from some places downstream of the river. It was the female primitive people who followed Han Cheng to the Tongshan residential area and got into the water.

Under Han Cheng's subtle influence, the people in the tribe already knew the difference between men and women, and gradually began to show it in actions.

For example, in the current Qingque tribe, generally speaking, there are no adult women who are shirtless in hot summer.

There are even no female primitives who unbutton their buttons for coolness in public.

When building the summer outdoor bathing pool, no one was at all puzzled that Han Cheng directly built two of them.

After all, the toilets in the tribe and the bathing pools used for bathing in winter are also divided into men and women.

Between the two open-air baths, there is a dense hemp plant, so it can effectively block the sight of each other.

However, when the sounds of women playing in the water came from the downstream bathing pool, no one said anything. The originally noisy men's bathing pool soon became quiet...

In this regard, whether it is the men of this era, or the men of later generations, they are surprisingly similar...

Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and it took Han Cheng more than a month from leaving the tribe to returning. At this time, there was naturally a tender relationship between the child's bride-in-law Bai Xuemei, so there was no need to elaborate.

On the second day, after shaving off his beard and cutting off the excessively long hair with the bronze scissors with a jagged notch on one side, Han Cheng looked much more energetic, and he was no longer as sloppy as when he came back yesterday .

After getting up, he took Little Peas to the field ridges around the tribe, caught some grasshoppers, and came back to feed the little birds that Han Cheng picked up by the creek when he came back.

These three little guys were still a little afraid of people, and when they saw people coming, they hid on the edge of the circle.

But no matter how afraid you are of people, you can't resist the temptation of delicious food.

After Han Cheng and Xiao Wandou broke apart the large and small grasshoppers caught by them, which were strung together behind their heads in a string of bushes with dog tails, and threw them one by one into the plate in the cage, where The terrified and quacking little players still slowly and tentatively came to the edge of the plate.

Stretching its neck, it caught a dead grasshopper with its unique bright yellow beak, turned around and ran back.

After coming to the corner where he stayed before, he raised his neck and swallowed the grasshopper in his mouth whole.

After eating, he tilted his head to look at the two hairless monkeys, one big and one small, who were squatting on the ground watching them, and then continued to try to eat grasshoppers.

After repeating this action two or three times in a row, these guys became more courageous. Instead of running when they caught a grasshopper like before, they stood on the plate and used their flat mouths. Keep swallowing.

Despite their small size, their eating speed is not slow at all, and most of the bunches of grasshoppers were quickly eaten by them.

After eating these grasshoppers, the little ones became more courageous, and one of them even stretched out his mouth to eat the grasshopper in Little Pea's open palm.

The flat, tender mouth touches the soft and tender palm of Little Pea, itching, the happy little guy is always happy.

The bird cub was frightened by Little Pea's laughter, and ran away quickly with a grasshopper in its mouth and flapping wings...

The three gray downy little ones, with their flat beaks and flippers that were also gray, were the young of a species of wild duck.

When passing by the narrow stream at that time, many wild ducks and other birds that could fly were frightened. These three little guys were people from the Qingque tribe who nailed wooden stakes there Found and caught while cutting the surrounding vegetation.

When it was first discovered, there were as many as a dozen or so in that litter.

It's just that the speed of these little guys is really too fast. Even though they are far from mature, they walk through the grass one by one, but they are fast.

After everyone was in a hurry, they caught these three.

With experience in feeding deer, donkeys, geese, and chickens, those traveling with him naturally knew what the Son of God wanted them to do by catching such birds that could swim in water.

There is a great possibility that they will be raised like chickens and geese, and when the time comes, they will be used to lay eggs and eat them, or they will be raised directly and slaughtered for meat.

But even though they understood Han Cheng's intentions, Mao and the others who were traveling with him were not too enthusiastic about such things.

Because the tribe already has chickens and geese, two types of poultry that can lay eggs.

Of these two things, one lays eggs frequently, and the other lays very large eggs. As long as the two complement each other, it doesn't matter whether there are other birds in the tribe to supplement.

Han Cheng didn't agree with such a concept at all. He came from later generations, and he had a deep obsession with gathering chickens, ducks and geese, three kinds of leaders in the poultry world.

Moreover, if ducks are well bred, they also have a strong advantage in laying eggs.

Not only are they much bigger than eggs, but if they are fed well and have enough to eat, these guys can sometimes lay two eggs a day.

One when it was just dark, and another when it was light.

Moreover, the salted duck eggs that are marinated with red oil are also a good food, especially the duck egg yolk, which is at least comfortable to eat.

Of course, things like eggs can also be eaten with salt, but compared with salted duck eggs, they always taste a lot worse.

In addition to salted duck eggs, roast duck is also a delicious thing that people have to mention.

Han Cheng has never eaten Beijing Quanjude Roast Duck, which is very famous in later generations, but he has eaten the ordinary roast duck sold on the street for 18 yuan a piece, and the roast duck that is said to be roasted with fruit tree charcoal for more than 30 yuan a piece. of.

The outer layer is dipped in cumin and chili powder, and the baked golden skin tastes the most delicious...

Those little ducklings who are full from eating grasshoppers and lying there stretching their legs or wings from time to time, don't know that the big hairless monkey in front of them is already drooling to attack them and their offspring. , if I know it, I don’t know if I can still be as calm as I am now...

The Bronze Expressway is something that affects everyone's minds and needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

When Han Cheng left, he told the stonemason Wood and the part-time coppersmith second senior brother who stayed in the tribe to let them come during this period of time and make some tools needed for road construction.

Now that the tools are complete and the route has been determined by Han Cheng, the road construction can begin.

On the second day after returning from the residential area of ​​Tongshan, in the morning, he brought some small peas to catch some grasshoppers and fed them to the ducklings. After breakfast, Han Chengcheng began to discuss with Wu, senior brother, second senior brother, Shang and others again. Regarding the road construction, and then, under the condition that the rest of the tribe's affairs can be carried out normally, they began to arrange and deploy manpower to prepare for the road construction.

More than half of the people who were drawn out to build the road were slaves of the Qingque tribe.

Such drudgery as building roads is naturally indispensable...

'Dangdangdang...'

At the quarry of the Qingque Tribe, someone knocked and lifted pieces of shale from there, and then loaded these rock pieces on a two-wheeled donkey cart parked nearby.

what!

With the yelling of the driver, the donkey pulling the donkey cart and the deer pulling the cart together began to work hard, pulling some stone slabs on the cart, and turning along the previously paved stone road. After turning two turns, they headed toward the west end of the Qingque tribe's field all the way.

In the farmland around the Qingque tribe, stone roads have been built long ago, and there is also a main road leading to the west side.

For the construction of the Bronze Expressway this time, the main road that had been built before was directly used by Han Cheng, and became the starting point of the easternmost side of the Bronze Expressway.

However, when this road was built, there were no two-wheeled carts in the tribe, only unicycles.

Therefore, although it is a main road, its width is only about two meters.

When the time comes, it needs to be widened.

However, because the crops in the farmland on both sides are not mature yet, starting to widen it now will destroy a lot of crops.

Therefore, the construction of the Bronze Expressway this time directly follows the main road to the west and continues westward.

As for the widening of this section of the old road, it can only be carried out after the crops in the field have been harvested.

At this time, there are many people scattered at the end of this old road.

These people held all kinds of tools in their hands, and were busy with the tasks assigned before.

Someone carried a sickle, an axe, a saw, etc., and continued to clear the grass and trees along the stakes that Han Cheng and the others nailed when they came back, and the passage that was simply opened. space to develop.

A group of relatively high-end talents such as Lame, Shitou, Yuan, etc., under the professor of Han Cheng, used rope measures, long ropes, benchmarks, etc., along the field cleared by the people in front of them, according to Han Cheng The wooden stakes that were roughly nailed before, the road was straightened, and the exact location of the road, as well as the width of the road, were circled with lime powder.

Behind is another group of people, carrying metal tools such as copper shovels and shovels, and leveling the land along the roads they have marked with lime powder.

In the back, someone used a tool for rammed earth to pound the loose soil into a firm place and make it smooth.

On the preliminarily leveled land, some people used stone slabs pulled from the quarry to lay them.

The stone road is still more durable than ordinary dirt roads, and the road surface of the stone does not need to be rammed too hard. Han Cheng finally decided to lay a section of the stone road.

Of course, the decision was made on the premise that the distance from the quarry is not too far. Once the road extends five or six miles and the place where the road is paved is too far from the quarry, we can only start building pure Dirt road.

Of course, if a large amount of shale is found along the road, then the situation is another matter.

In fact, even the stone road is not as good as the cement road.

It's just that now the tribe can only burn limestone, and the known limestone origin is far away from the Qingque tribe. Even if cement can really be fired, at this time, according to the manpower and material resources of the Qingque tribe, they want to build It is also unrealistic to go out such a long concrete road...
